OK. First, I know it's a mound of something! I'm just curious what. I walk this area every day, and today, I saw these strange mounds formed in a specific row. I think they are coming from a bed of mulch. If I remember, there were about four mounds. I wonder if it was caused by animal digging. It was too specific.

I apologize for the lousy pictures! My lens wasn't appropriate for this so I couldn't get any decent shots. After experiencing some mushrooms disappearing on me after I shot them one day, I've learned not to assume they'll still be there the next day! If they're there tomorrow, I may try shooting these with my iPhone, but I didn't have the time.

Just seemed weird in how it was laid out, clearly not random clumps of ? dirt.

The traps with springs and spikes work well. Pain to set up and clean up but effective and safe for dogs and squirrels.

The Grub poison thing works. I've tried it.


Well, great, but what about the squirrels that live there?

Grub poison kills the insects. No insects to eat, no moles. Won't effect the tree rats (squirrels).

About 30 years ago I had a Ferret for a short time. I made a harness for him out of Venetian Blind cord and I would take him out and let him hunt the moles, he would stick his nose under the dirt of the run then he was like a plow he only caught one mole, but his hunting sent then packing!! It was a trip to watch him, plow a bit pull his head out and sneeze a couple of times then back at it.
But then instead of ridges of dirt I had ruts!!! But I didn't have moles the rest of the time I lived there.

Maybe someone should bottle some ferret scent to squirter down the holes. Who knows it might work.

My problem is I live in an apartment complex. Out of my control! Lived here for a long time and never saw these. Just want my squirrels killed or anything else for that matter!


My son worked at a golf course and he says lots of activity on the surface they don't like and they leave. I guess I have to mow my yard more often.

Whether it is a gopher or mole, there is a commercial trap that is fast,easy to use. and is almost 100% effective.

This one really works. It takes a little patient to find the right spot but then it is a done deal.
You want to initially get the starter kit with one trap and the probe. You can get additional traps if needed.
If you have any questions about this trap, call them, they are happy to help.
